Katana Spazio or Diablo Vienna? - Click HERE for Original Thread

My R1 got stolen yesterday and I do not plan on getting a new bike so I decided to get some rims to make me feel better.

Does anybody know which rims are better between the Katana and Diablo? They look pretty much the same but the Katanas are alittle cheaper. The Diablos seem to have bigger buttons around the wheels, but it might be the picture.

Here's the link for the two wheels:

I like the Diablo's

Bummer about the R1. From the pics, I would say I prefer the Diablo. Both good looking wheels, though.

neither for an MDX. IMO they will not look right, more of a car wheel and they will look small, even if u get 20's.

ACX....IMO they look more like truck rims than your dubs.

kimsta,

I like Diablo's; however, it will be a pain to clean the brake dust from those rivets.

Did you consider the Boss 310 wheel? Looks like the Diablo's without the rivets, cost less than the Diablo, and made in the USA!

It's hard picking out the right rims!!! :2:

Post some pic's when you get it!!!!

Tran,

I actually like the rivets, but I didn't think about the brake dust accumulating. Oh well....I guess I have to clean the rims every other day.:)

The Boss 310 looks like it would look better on the Benz coupe/sedans. I like the Diablos because they are deep dish. The Boss still looks nice though. How much are they?

I can get the Diablos with GT II 275/45s for $2002 mounted, balanced, and shipped. Not bad for twenties. I have to wait until my check comes from my insurance company for my bike.

Has anybody had experience with Diablo rims? I hope the chrome doesn't fade.

kimsta if YOU like 'em, get 'em. i just know a rim of that design will look smaller than what it is. if the rim is not open w/ smaller spokes, it looks small. the more u can see through a rim the bigger it appears. also IMO there is not a wheel that looks better on an MDX than the 1 i chose. i had a friend at a rim shop try on many rims and these were the hottest over any others, in all our opinions. these guys hook up cars for the rich and famous and know what looks best on what. but again if YOU like 'em, get 'em. there definately nicer than stock.:8:

ACX,

OK....your rims look bigger than the ones I'm planning to get. YOU happy? I never said anything about the size of the rims. Dont worry about what I'm going to get. I'll get what I want to get, not what people that hook up cars for the rich think I should get.

No need to get defensive.....I'm not knocking your rims. I personally like more aggressive looking rims for a truck. I think rims with thin spokes look too sporty. If you are going for that look...that's you.

I just got my bike stolen......I dont feel like arguing about whose rims are better. Lets just end it at that.
ACX
get a grip kimster i'm not getting defensive. just simply trying to explain something. take a xanax.
kimsta
